Although there are no 'Farsi' value for the 'language' element in 
RSS 0.91[1], there *is* one for RSS 1.0[2]. It's 'fa'[3].

[1] A list of allowable languages are at <URL: 
http://backend.userland.com/stories/storyReader$16 >.

[2] Using the Dublin Core 'language' element <URL: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-
dev/files/Modules/Standard/mod_dc.html >.

[3] Farsi == Persian. See <URL: 
http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html > for the 
list of allowable language codes. (Only the two-letter ISO 639-1 
language codes may be used, or combinations of language and 
country, as defined in RFC1766[4].)

[4] Which, by the way, has be superseded by RFC3066. Future 
versions of the Dublin Core (>1.1) will probably be changed to 
reflect this.
